We did it!!!
All 3 of us made it. It was by far the hardest thing I think any of us have ever done. Although we knew it would be hard nothing prepares you for the will power needed just to put one foot in front of the other.
We started climbing at midnight on day 4 after a few hours restless sleep. You are woken with red bush tea and chocolate biscuits. Everything gets left at basecamp as you return there after the summit for a few more hours sleep before descending further, all you carry is water and snacks to keep you going. There were 2 guides and 4 assistant guides with our group of 10 for the final ascent. We made the summit soon after 10am. It's supposed to be 7-8 hours total but everyone in our group was ill to varying degrees. WE ALL MADE IT!!! mammoth effort from everyone.
Anyway more to come later as we upload our diaries.
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us so far.
Back to UK on the 16th
Charlie, Michelle and Callum
